Copulation
What will you do if your rights are taken away and controlled by a state order? Boredom must be the answer. At least that's what Ivory, this year's Copulation participant, felt. Having a child with a stranger is hard for her. Especially if it's just a game controlled by a system. Ivory hates her destiny as someone who is always considered weak. On the other hand, Aaron, who was initially about to marry his fiancée, suddenly canceled his plans and chose to join the game. His meeting with Ivory made him understand the feelings of his momentary partner. At the same time, Ivory also questions her feelings, which start to grow uncontrollably for Aaron. Spending day and night under the same roof certainly makes the existing boundaries gray. Ivory doesn't want to be someone's lover, but fate makes her difficult to choose. Can they survive amid their efforts to break the system that shackles freedom? === === "Stop treating me like your real partner. I can't. Falling in love with you is exhausting." "Don't hate me, Ivory. Don't walk away from me." "I love you, but we met to part. I don't wanna hurt myself, hoping that we can stay together forever."
Bad Luck Day
Cakara laughed emotionlessly.
Yet the emotions he was struggling with were so complex. He felt shocked, angry, sad, and … betrayed. He also felt stupid because he had been cheated on by someone important in his life. However, he secretly acknowledged the woman's ability to outsmart him.
"So this is a trick played by the soldiers from Dusty Island? They will infiltrate and extract as much information as possible. Fake death is the way out when all the information has been gathered. Why couldn't I see this pattern before? You guys are amazing."
Ava was silent.
Sitting on a park bench almost an hour ago, the two of them were in an unpleasant mood. Ava, as surprised as Cakara, couldn't avoid him anymore. Maybe today is a bad luck day for her. Even though she tried her best to avoid Cakara, it turned out that the two of them had just met in the weapons storage room.
"It's always been like that. You sound very sarcastic, Puddle."
